Cabbage

For delicate stomachs, boiled cabbage may be hard to digest. However,
it is harmless when stewed or better yet, eaten raw in salad. Raw cabbage takes 1.5 hours to digest, and boiled cabbage taked 4.5 hours to digest.

Caution: If you eat excessive amounts
of raw cabbage, you might not be getting sufficient iodine. Consider
a kelp supplement.

Cabbage is very valuable as a remedy for the following:

dysentery

intestinal disease

hemmorhoids

anemia

liver attacks

liver cirrhosis

It is also worth noting that cancer researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology have found that vitamin C and E and certain chemicals
called "indole" found in cabbage, Brussels sprouts and related
vegetables in the crucifer family are potent and apparently have inhibitors
of certain
carcinogens.

Carrots

Carrots are particularly important to
the growth process of children, strengthening the bones and preventing
anemia. Their vitamin
and mineral contents are
extremely high, particularly in the thin layer of skin (epidermis), and for this reason they should not be peeled.

If carrots were used more
extensively as a vegetable, they would prove of great benefit to humanity. Here are some of the issues that carrots can remedy:

Cancer

Liver, kidney, and bladder troubles

Gravel in the bladder

Painful

Urination

Worms in the bowels

The seeds of carrots, ground
to powder and taken as a tea, relieve colic and
increase the flow of urine. The powder may also be placed in capsules and
one or two taken daily with
a glass of water. Carrot blossoms, used as a tea, are a most effective
remedy for dropsy and will very often effect
a cure when all other means have failed.

Celery

Celery is a biennial plant
that also grows wild in salty soils of North and South
America, Europe, and Africa. It is known and valued practically all over the
world. It is used as an appetizer to improve the taste of other dishes, to
stimulate digestion, as well as to eliminate excessive fluids from the body.

The stalk contains 93.7%
pure, unpolluted water, and is rich in calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus,
and iron. Celeriac, the knob-like root, is
a source of potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, silicon, and vitamins A and B. Celery juice is made from the leaves and the celeriac, and combines the
vital nutrients of celeriac with the vital elements formed by the chlorophyll
of the green leaves. As a result, it contains a wealth of chloride minerals combined
with alkaline ash, something the body greatly needs.

Celery has a stimulating effect on digestion because it acts as a diuretic,
and it helps dissolve and discharge waste materials, mainly through
the kidneys.

Celery juice helps the body rid itself of accumulated metabolic waste. This
is beneficial for many symptoms and complaints, in particular rheumatism
and arthritis. It is also a tonic and restorative for the nervous and glandular
systems, and is also helpful for flatulence.
Here are some ways celery can be used for common ailments:

Dieting
A few stalks before meals appeases the appetite and maintains regularity. Cellulose
in raw celery is excellent roughage.

Diabetes
Celery is excellent because of its ability to increase elimination. Drink
celery juice plain or mixed with carrot or tomato juice. In Japan, rheumatism
is cured completely with a diet of simply celery in a variety of forms for one month.

Calcium Deposits
Celery juice taken on a regular basis dissolves calcium deposits in the body.

Cucumber

As a Diuretic
The first and foremost benefit of the cucumber is that it is a diuretic. As such, it helps
cleanse the body of its toxins and can do great things for the figure.

While Dieting
It is an excellent practice to eat a
cucumber every evening. Slice but do not peel it; season it with
garlic and parsley, olive
oil, and lemon juice and watch yourself grow slimmer.

Women troubled by cellulite will find their spongy tissues firm up wonderfully,
because cucumber dissolves uric acid and superfluous fat.

Dandelion

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, and performs over 500 different functions. The liver affects our entire body's health and well-being. The ingredients in the following smoothie are rich in valuable nutrients and antioxidants and are well known to help cleanse, strengthen, tone, and nourish the liver.

To keep your liver healthy, drink 2 quarts of this smoothie at least once a month. If you cannot find dandelion greens in your local health food store, use romaine lettuce instead. Wherever possible, use organic or unsprayed varieties.

Recipe

4 cups fresh dandelion greens

1/2 head endive

2 cups cilantro

2 cups apple juice

1 banana

2 pears

1 inch fresh ginger

1 cup cranberries

Blend all the ingredients in the blender. Drink slowly and enjoy! Refrigerate to keep fresh. Since juice is better for you when it is fresh, finish the smoothie within 24 hours. Yield: 2 quarts.

Figs

Whether in dried form or as ripe fruit, figs not only taste great but they are one of the highest plant sources of calcium and fiber.

The idea which you hold, that
no remedies should be used for the sick, is an error. God does not heal
the sick without the
aid of the means of healing which lie within the reach of man; or when men
refuse to be benefited by the simple remedies that God has provided in pure
air and water. When the Lord told Hezekiah that He would spare his life for
fifteen years, and as a sign that He would fulfill His promise, caused the
sun to go back ten degrees, why did He not put His direct, restoring power
upon the King? He told him to apply a bunch of figs to His sore, and that
natural remedy, blessed by God, healed him. The God of nature directs the
human agent to use natural remedies now (Selected Messages Volume 2, 286-287).

Fig juice made from soaked figs can help relieve digestive ulcers and constipation.

Grapefruit Seed

Molasses

To heal ulcers, use molasses. It will reduce the mineral deficiency in the blood and tissues.

If there has ever been a
food that was ignored in direct proportion to its prophylactic and curative
properties, that food is unsulphured blackstrap molasses. It is truly
a wonder food of nature. No home should ever be without it (Gaumont
and Buttram, M.D. Nine Day Inner Cleansing).

Onion

Onions may be considered one of the most health-giving vegetables!

Onion has many qualities in common with
garlic. Unlike many vegetables, which lose some of their virtues
in cooking, cooked onions are rich in vitamins. However, they should not be
fried but rather added to stews or baked.

Health Benefits of Onion

Energy

Onions have been used by boxers and runners for energy.

Diuretic and CleansingOnion
acts against retention of fluids and cleanses the system of urea and sodium.
Onion promotes elimination of waste. Rub the loins with half an onion to
increase urination by 25%. Such onion massage is also helpful in cases
of sciatica. Raw onion eaten promotes transpiration and cleanses the pores
as effectively as a good sauna bath. Especially recommended for rheumatic
patients.

Illness Remedy
Onions can help to heal typhoid, flu, and scarlet fever.

Create a foot poultice out of several choppes onions spread on a thin linen cloth. Wrap the poultice around your feet.
Keep the poultice on overnight or for eight hours. This produces moisture and
is highly diuretic. Within three days the illness should pass.

Onion is an excellent antibiotic-anticoagulant,
and has antidiabetic properties, as it lowers the sugar content
in the blood.

Potatoes

Potatoes can help with many internal ailments:

Celiac Disease:
While doctors say there is no cure for this grain intolerance, people with this condition find potatoes easy to take.

Constipation: Eat unpeeled boiled potatoes or drink the juice to soothe inflamed tissue and provide bulk to the stool.

Diarrhea: Eat unsalted potatoes mashed with water.

Heartburn and Gas: Drink freshly squeezed potato juice first thing in the morning.

Indigestion: Eat potatoes raw, about ½ cup.

Kidney Problems:
To avoid having to resort to dialysis, people with kidney failure must eat little protein, which must also be of high quality. Because of their high-grade protein, potatoes are good for kidney patients.

Potatoes are excellent for urinary tract infection as well, because they alkalize the mucous membranes to force bacteria to be passed out in the urine.

Ulcers: Drink one quart of potato juice throughout the day, after meals.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are as good as they look, although some people shy away from
them because of their acidity. For those who must exercise this kind of care,
tomatoes are better eaten raw than cooked. Yet it is precisely the acidity
of the tomato, along with its high vitamin and mineral content, that
makes it an effective agent against the following ailments:

Stomach acidity

Viscosity of the blood

Constipation

Kidney and bladder stones

Uremia

Health is delicately balanced on eight health principles. Unfortunately, we have lived for so many years under unnatural conditions; we have gone so far away from the path of these health principles, that the very last thing we think of when seeking health, is the natural way.

We have been so deeply impressed with the false idea that we must have artificial aids, that most people have lost faith and confidence in purely natural methods.
The times we live in are so artificially arranged that most of us lack confidence in the simple things and simple methods of healing.

Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, has long been used as a home remedy for a variety of ailments. Added to bath water, it has been used to relieve colds, back pain, ease muscle tension and treat certain skin conditions.

Even if you don’t feel sick, your digestion may be poor enough to slowly poison your
system. No, this isn’t simply a theory, but the conclusion from years of laboratory testing
and clinical experience. Autointoxication is real.

If God made the world, and our bodies, then the Creation story can give us clues about how we should live for optimum health. But how did what God called "good" transform into a dog-eat-dog world of carnivores, thorns, parasites, and other ugly aspects of Creation?

Dehydration is simply when your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should. Water makes up 60-80% of our entire body mass, so it makes sense that when we don’t consume enough, all kinds of issues start to occur! Consuming plenty of water each day is critical for your body to work at its best, so if you’re not getting enough, your body sends a whole range of signs that let you know you need to top up!

Vaccination began 200 years ago as an experimental life-saving medical tool. While it originally had some merit, today it has become perhaps the leading cause of death and disability among our children.

Plant medicine safety pale in comparison to the promotional and safety practices of the mainstream drug industry.
